Hi Nick,

Cobol. ahhh memories ....

Speaking of Divisions, I remember studying Cobol at university and back then we only had limited time on the mainframe. You had 4 compiles to complete the assignment and that's it. One of my first programs which took ages to write came back with only one compile error. Brilliant I thought until I saw I spelt Identification Division incorrectly on the first line and it ignored the rest of the program.

Hated Cobol ever since.
